Sickened / Nauseated

Body rebelling: Sickened -2 to attack, damage, saves, checks.

A sickened character's body is fighting something it does not want -- bad rations, a mild bio-agent, grav-sickness, a brush with Fold flux. They take -2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. If the dose or the queasiness worsens they become Nauseated: unable to attack or manifest, they are limited to a single move action each round and spend the rest of the turn trying not to vomit. Nauseated de-escalates to Sickened with a successful Fortitude save (DC = source) at the start of the turn, and Sickened clears when the source is gone or the duration lapses. Onset is itself resisted with a Fortitude save; constructs feel none of it.
